according to the year there are different colors. We sell a very nice dark tan loop kit which would be identical to the buckskin tweed carpet in the 75 76 models, and a lighter tan loop kit in the 72 models. Both are made from material from Germany. The factory kits are hard to find we only having partial kits, in light tan (70 71) medium tan ( 71 and 72) dark tan (73 and 74)and buckskin tweed, )75 and 76).

For a '73 2.0 with the brown interior, what color loop carpet did the factory normally install or could you order it independently?

My brown interior had the original brown carpet (replaced with Morph) - it was a dark brown, with "hairs" of alternative color fibers in it.

There is nothing that matches the original, but I'd wager "german loop brown" would be the closest. See this thread:

Brown carpet thread

I went with Cognac because I wanted something different, and my car is wildly non-stock.

I like the Cognac you installed - looks sharp! I also like the Bamboo swatch also. I think one of these would be a nice contrast, especially considering my exterior is also brown (98 - special order Sepia).

Thanks for the info!

I would check with James or Hiedi. I think they make the kits up local to them.

They do not. However, I asked James for an extra piece for that very purpose and he provided it no problem. You can see it in the pics I posted earlier in this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, you need to be clear with them about that. I made that mistake at first and ordered their kit cause my car had some wierd carpets from the previous owner and no center tray...when I got my kit from Morph I had this empty space and had to order the center piece again and it cost me another 60 dollars or so plus shipping to Japan and they do not accept returns even on new items plus I had to wait for them to make me a new piece and it was during their busy time and took almost 2 months before I had it, but once I had it was very happy.

I think if you want your car to be a show car or concours car you should pay the extra money and get the AA kit, George knows his stuff about them. If you want an affordable kit that is very close to the original and you don't mind getting it dirty than go with the Morph kit. Either way you will be very pleased..about the wait, I think both companies are about the same. I have had things come from AA to me here in Japan in less than 4 days after ordering

Michael, What did you use on the rear bulkhead in place of the back pad? Your interior looks great by the way.

Thanks. I used perlon. Very inexpensive and easy to work with. I put down Dynamat, then the perlon.
